I mean, sure. But with Burns and Houston, as well as Haynes behind them...I didn't want to seem greedy. Lol

Business is Business.  You cannot have enough pass rushers. It's a long season a casualties happen along they way. I would talk to him to guage his interest at least.

Just got home from work.  I see Jensen and D. Wright made it.  Two guys I thought may make the initial 53.  Erving got cut too, which I thought was a possibility.  Kinda shocked Jones got cut along with both STO and Taylor...figured one of two would stick.  Bubble guys Shi Smith, Brandon Smith and McCray all got the axe.

The biggest surprise to me is the number of TEs that were kept, especially Sullivan.  Ricci was a bubble guy, so no huge shock, but how in the heck did Sullivan make it?  Congrats to Sullivan, Lee, Ray, Thurman, Wooten, Jensen and Wright on beating the odds.

Sullivan has apparently impressed coaches - he’s always shown flashes.  Hoping he fits in nicely here.  That being said - I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s cut if we make a move later on

The term you're looking for is expendable.  There's quite a few left that fit that description. They are on borrowed time.

Agreed.  Sullivan and Wright will be the first 2 to go IMO with any new signings.  We def need another OL and DL

I'm not too worried about the oline at the moment.  My concern is the defense. And to some extent the offense skill players. But depth is a concern all over the roster.  It's about the same as it has always been, but trending in the right direction, or at least the competency of the staff whose deciding it anyway.

Eh, DL and CB.  Remember BC can play left tackle and Mayes can play RT, Corbett will return eventually too.  With Jackson's and Horn's injury history, I'd like one more corner as insurance.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
